You might want to check out this review of the Tamron 17-50mm which includes a comparison to the Sigma 17-70mm:

And this review of the Sigma 17-70mm:

BTW, I myself just ordered the Tamron 17-50mm and considered both lenses before making my choice. I opted for the Tamron (1) because I want the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range for low light shooting and DOF control, (2) superior overall IQ on the bench tests, and (3) results I have seen from it are absolutely spectacular and it is the hands-down favorite lens of many of our members.



Also, the Tamron 17-50mm is currently available on Amazon for the excellent price of $409.
